[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would probably try to negotiate a higher salary to make up for the increased cost of insurance. [/quote] Absolutely this. His best time to negotiate is now [/quote] +1. We had an applicant that we really wanted turn down our offer flat because she felt the health insurance cost would be too high for her family (we're one of those small companies that can provide coverage for the employee but they have to cover family members' costs, and because we're in DC and it's all on the exchange it's per person, no family plan options). But we absolutely would've been willing to negotiate on salary if she'd just asked. Filling positions with good people is such a pain and usually by the time a company makes an offer they're pretty invested in the person, so your husband probably has more of an upper hand here than he realizes. Now's the time to make the ask, especially if he's prepared to walk anyway over this issue.[/quote]
